R help - Mar 2011 - Popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, Statistica, S-PLUS updated

Greetings,

I've just put out the latest version of "The Popularity of Data
Analysis Software" at http://r4stats.com/popularity. This update includes
complete data for 2010, the addition of number of blogs for each software, more
coverage of Statistica, and, where possible, measures regarding the
implementations of the SAS Language: Carolina and the World Programming System
(WPS).

Cheers,
Bob

I don't doubt that R may be the "most popular" in terms of
discussion
group traffic, but you should be aware that the traffic for SAS 
comprises two
separate lists that used to be mirrored, but are no longer linked
Usenet --  news://comp.soft-sys.sas  (what you counted)
listserve -- "SAS-L" http://www.listserv.uga.edu/archives/sas-l.html

They were split sometime around the point where your graph shows a 
downturn, and now comp.soft-sys.sas is considered the "dark-side" of 
SAS-L.  You know of the existence of SAS-L, but you haven't counted
that traffic, AFAICS.

Hello-

Does anyone know of packages that could emulate what J. Vermunt's LEM does ?
What is the closest relative in R ?
I use both R and LEM but have trouble transforming my multiway tables in R into
a .dat file compatible with LEM.

Thanks,

David Joubert
